North Dakota Century Code Title 47. Property § 47-35-03. Perfection of security interest in rents

1. A document creating an assignment of rents may be submitted for recording in the office of the recorder for the county in which the real property described in the document is located in the same manner as any other document evidencing a conveyance of an interest in real property.

2. Upon recording, the security interest in rents created by an assignment of rents is fully perfected, notwithstanding any provision of the document creating the assignment or other law of this state which would preclude or defer enforcement of the security interest until the occurrence of a subsequent event, including a subsequent default of the assignor, the assignee's obtaining possession of the real property, or the appointment of a receiver.

3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, a perfected security interest in rents takes priority over the rights of a person who, after the security interest is perfected, acquires an interest in or judgment lien against the rents or the real property from which they arise.

4. A perfected security interest in rents has priority over the rights of a person listed in subsection 3 with respect to future advances to the same extent as the assignee's security interest in the real property has priority over the rights of that person with respect to future advances.
